The impact of artificial intelligence on the economy and business with special attention to the labor market [before doctoral defense]

Abstract

The dissertation is situated within the rapidly expanding scholarly and societal debate on the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the economy, business, and especially the labor market. Its research background emerges from the recognition that AI has moved beyond the realm of speculative science fiction and has become an increasingly widespread technological force shaping everyday life, organizational processes, and economic development. AI is no longer merely a niche technical subject discussed within computer science; rather, it is now a multidisciplinary concern that appears in scientific journals, policy debates, media discourse, consultancy reports, and public conversations alike. This broadening relevance is one of the central reasons why the topic of AI’s impact on the economy, society with special attention to the labor market is both timely and necessary.
